Grant Achatz - Alinea
Chef Grant Achatz has announced plans to launch an exhibition at The Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art. The show which is apparently in the pipeline to be released in the next two years will be 'culinary funhouse' in which visitors have to navigate the corridors of the museum faced with sounds, textures and food as they make their way round.

Achatz's restaurant Alinea was 6th on the World's 50 Best Restaurants List in 2011 and is famous for his experimental approach to cooking and the experience he provides to diners in his restaurant - With this new idea it seems the chef is intent on taking these experiences and offering them to a wider public.
